Bannon was good at using his Breitbart publication to help make Hillary look like an even worse candidate than she was. But you're right.. If Bannon is a habitual leaker, he has to go. If he's not serving a useful purpose, he's a distraction. There's enough distractions outside the White House.
That would beg the question though. Do you really want to get rid of the guy that got you to the ball, and also knows how he got you there? That is unless Trump is confident in the outcome.

No yes men??? Seriously???
That's all he wants around him. That's why he demands their loyalty to him and gets upset if he doesn't get it.
The problem is that yes men end up going along with Trumps bad ideas because they have no other option. But since Trump can't take the heat for it, they do, he fires them and blames them for it and moves on to the next yes man.
Yes men are the major pieces on the chessboard that get hit protecting the king for the bad moves he makes in the game. Pretty soon you have lost too many of them and it's only a matter of time until game over.

President Trump is really a "softie" when it comes to his friends. If Jeff Sessions was a non-friend/jerk/nutjob like James Comey was, Trump would have fired him, instead of working (in Trump's own way) to get AG Sessions on track.
The President likes Bannon too. If Bannon is fired, it will be Chief of Staff Kelly who hands him the pink-slip.

IF??? Bannon was the most obvious nut to begin with.
Obviously you have studied his personality and habits. I have no clue, other than he was an owner of Breitbart, and before that, a U.S. Navy officer. Being former Navy myself I was glad to see him appointed as a trusted advisor. But if Bannon's not trustworthy, he's got to go. CNN is worse than 100 Bannons...but that's another thread.
No, one Bannon is worse that 1 million CNNs. One FOX is worse than 1 Bannon, maybe.

Bannon allegedly leaks info about personality stuff...soap opera material. If you watched CNN this past week, you'd think that it was headquartered in North Korea, and owned by Kim Jong. If you just periodically tuned to CNN, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I say let him fire who he will. Trump will not put up with failure. Even from his advisers. He will do his best to find the best person for the job. To bad there are not many who can do the job that is expected of them.

Comey did a fantastic job and had a long career. Sessions is an old biggot. The only thing Sessions did right was recuse himself...which p*ssed Trump off. The only reason Trump won't fire him is because Repub leadership told him that is one of the lines he can't cross- and also may be a legal line he can;t cross.

If the Democrats ever start strategizing how to win elections, instead of displaying jealousy and hate, they can be in a position to install their own people in power.
We're getting closer to 2018, and that change of course doesn't seem to be materializing.
From what I've seen of Republicans this year, it's possible that both parties prefer being out of power, and hating those who are in power.

I watch CNN, they gave no impression that they were Pro North Korea. I have no idea where you got that.
I have seen pundits on there state the OBVIOUS: Do not hit NK as they will then hit Guam, SK and Japan.
FOX news says about the same thing.
Do you spend a lot of time watching CNN?

The repubs have failed and the Dems have not really picked up an organized retaliation. This is true. I am hoping that Trump being incompetent alone will turn the tide. But after the recent divisiveness, I really don't know.
